I have started putting a little more time and effort into my holiday dining table decor recently.

Beautifully decoated dining tables have always attracted me, however I tend to spent more time thinking about what food to serve than my dining room tablescape.

After studying other beautiful tablescapes for inspiration, I decided to have a little fun using AI (artificial intelligence) to create some holiday tablescapes for me to share with you.

I am very impressed with the quality of the images that AI programs are able to produce, however AI is not perfect and often shows odd things.

Many people feel that AI images are bad, evil, or cheating in some way, however they are just another tool that can be very inspirational if used respectfully.  By respectfully, I mean that the creator of the AI image should not attempt to convince people that the image is an original photograph of their work.  Just as digital photography and Photoshop were hated by some people when first introduced, AI has amazing potential and I anticipate it being very widely used in the near future.

Now for the pretty stuff.

Here are a few of the AI images that I was able to create to inspire us to create our next beautiful tablescape.........

In most cases, ceiling fans are not very pretty, so selecting the best one for your home can be quite a challenge. 

Even if a ceiling fan is selected to be a similar style to your decor, it can look completely different when the blades are spinning. 

Faux wood blades are not especially attractive and draw attention from the beautiful parts of a room that you want to highlight.

Ceiling fan blades that contrast with the ceiling color make ceilings feel shorter. 

Light bulbs are not very attractive, so they should not be visible (unless your home has an industrial style and you use Edison bulbs #ad).

I have used many different storage containers over the years successfully and unsuccessfully, however I am very happy with the ones I am currently using.
